9:00am

Katie starts her morning with a coffee from the onsite barista. Then it’s time to see what’s waiting for her.

Working in audit at Deloitte involves learning about how different organisations operate and ensuring the information they share is accurate. This helps build public confidence and trust.

Some of Katie’s current projects include:

A global fashion brand

See how products move from design to shop floor.

A football club

Explore the organisation behind the matchday experience.

A renewable energy company

Understand the projects helping to power a lower-carbon future.

While working on one of her audit projects, Katie encounters an unfamiliar sustainability term:

Carbon emissions intensity0.08 kg CO₂e

per passenger kilometre

She hasn’t worked with this type of calculation before.

Katie knows her team and manager are there to support her, but decides to investigate the metric herself first.

What should Katie do?

This helps Katie understand what data she needs to check next: the passenger-distance records and how the figure was calculated.

In the audit team at Deloitte, you’ll learn how to use AI confidently, but also when to question its output and use your judgement and curiosity skills to find the truth.

1:30pm

After lunch, Katie catches up with Shannon, an Assistant Manager in the Deloitte audit team.

Shannon didn’t come from a maths background, and her route into Deloitte might not be the one you expect.
